Shivapuri day hiking trip is one of most popular day hiking routes. The trail takes us up from Shivapuri National Park to Nagi Gompa, a hilltop Buddhist monastery where panoramic views of the Kathmandu valley abound. Finish with a stop at a local bazaar in Sundarijal before heading back to Kathmandu.
Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park is the ninth national park in Nepal and was established in 2002. It is located in the country's mid-hills on the northern fringe of the Kathmandu Valley and named after Shivapuri Peak of 2,732 m (8,963 ft) altitude. It covers an area of 159 km2 (61 sq mi) in the districts of Kathmandu, Nuwakot and Sindhupalchowk, adjoining 23 Village Development Committees. In the west, the protected area extends to the Dhading District.
Your expert Sherpa guide will meet you at your desired starting point, usually your city center hotel lobby, at your preferred time—typically 7:30 AM after breakfast. From there, you will drive to Muhan Pokhari Budhanilkantha, where your day hike commences.
